It's apple season! I kicked off the season with this simple apple cobbler.
I like to use a blend of apples to get nuanced flavour from each cultivar. Peel, slice and add to a skillet with a bit of oil. Saute on low heat until they begin to soften. Add a bit of sugar, cornstarch, orange juice, orange zest, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla extract. I also added a bit of molasses. When they're soft, place in a greased cast iron skillet.
I ground a bit of organic red wheat and used it for a basic biscuit dough recipe. I didn't add any sugar, but probably would next time - sugar helps the dough brown as it bakes. It's easy to cover the apples with the dough by using a dough scoop to parcel out the topping.
Bake at 350F until the top is done. I sprinkled a bit of rolled oats on top because oats, brown sugar and cinnamon are amazing together.
